     Francis Nichols was born in 1595 at England. He (1) married an unknown woman. He (2) married Anne (Anna) Wines, daughter of Barnabas Wines, in 1645. Francis Nichols died in 1650 at Stratford, Fairfield County, CT.

     Francis was the son of Francis Nichols of Ampthill, Bedford County, England, and his wife Margaret Bruce. Francis appears in Stratford, CT., in 1639, among the first settlers.
     He was apparently a widower when he came, and was accompanied by his four children, John, Isaac, Caleb, and a daughter whose name is unknown, and who married Richard Mills, another of the first settlers of the township.
     He married a second time in 1645, with Anna, daughter of Deacon Barnabas Wines, of Southold, L.I., by whom he had a second daughter, Ann. After Francis Nichol's death, his widow was thrice married.
     Sergent Francis Nichols died in Stratford, probably intestate, and it is likely that his property was distributed to his children before his death. The inventory of his personal effects is on record, and amounted to a fairly considerable sum for those early times.
     In the list of owners and inhabitants of Southold, L.I., is found 'Francis Nichols', which would indicate that after settling at Stratfordhe, for some reason, temporarily lived at Southold or at least held property there.
     The records of Southold frequently speak of the estate of Francis Nichols left to his second wife and also to his daughter Ann, wife of Christopher Youngs, grandson of the Rev. John Youngs.
     'The Hawley Record, by Elias S. Hawley, says that Francis was probably a near relative of Col. Richard Nicoll, the first English governor of New York. While 'In Pursuit of Paradise, History of the Town of Stratford, CT, by Lewis G. Knapp, says Sgt. Francis and the future governor of NY, Richard, were brothers. In the different spelling of the name there is no special significance, since it is spelled on the Stratford records, often without the 'h', as Nicholls, Nicols, Nickols.
     That Francis Nichols was early recognized as a military man, is evidenced by an enactment of the General Court of Connecticut in 1639, the year of his first appearance in Stratford, whereby he was assigned 'to train the men and exercise them in military discipline.' He was also the original proprietor of Stratford, CT in1639.

     Francis Nichols married Margaret Bruce, daughter of George Bruce and Margaret Primrose. Francis Nichols died on 6 September 1622 at Ampthill, Bedfordshire, England. He was buried on 9 September 1622 in Ampthill.

     Francis Nichols of Ampthill, Bedfordshire, England was a barrister and a man of standing as he is described in the English records as 'of the Middle Temple' and 'one of the Squires of the Bath' and as may be inferred from his own marriage and the marriage of his only daughter, Bruce, to Baron Fredheville of Staveley, Derby. He was squire of the Bath to Sir Edward Bruce.
